Which consequence results when mismatched lens alignment causes birefringence?

💡 Explanation

Reduced contrast occurs because the **polarization rotation** induced by birefringence varies across the lens aperture, therefore some light is blocked rather than passed, because light transmission isn't consistent; beam path shifts happen with prism effects.
